Ghost Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Jets haven't talked to Dillon...yet Posted: Wednesday August 15, 2007 09:23AM ET Thomas Jones' calf injury leaves the Jets thin at running back, which begs the question: Will they try to talk former Patriot Corey Dillon out of retirement? Eric Mangini, a former New England assistant, is familiar with Dillon. But don't bet on a reunion. As of yesterday, the Jets hadn't reached out to Dillon, according to his agent.

BP Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 No thanks, we don't need a slow/fat running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKwaz Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 none of the above. I like what we have here in Banks and Ware. RB can be made with a good scheme and good O-line. RB is the least of my worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeniemeanie Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I heard OJ is looking for work, since that deal with FOX didn't pan out. Then again we have Brad Smith, we don't need a another Slasher type guy on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who posts this stupid stuff? I don't mean you ghost, i mean the original blurb. I mean, the jets have said nothing to or about dillon, and dillon has said nothing other then his playing days are over. Ya know, mangini and the jets also have curtis martin's number, maybe they should call him up and ask him to reconsider. Heck, i am sure they could dig up Emmit Smith's number, maybe he would consider unretiring if he doesn't have any other goofy reality tv shows in the pipeline. Besides, as to Dillon, he outright said his playing days are over, who would want to have aguy who feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMaynard Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well, Eric Mangini replaced Herm Edwards. And Herm is known for throwing people under the bus. And Jerome Bettis's knickname is The Bus. That's it, by golly. The jets will be reaching out to Jerome Bettis any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I may be in the minority here but Leon and Dillon in short yardage would be a good combo-as slow as he was last year he scored what? 13 TDs? He was money at the GL and in short yardage situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick34125 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 don't think the Jets would make a play for Dillon, but I do think they need to pick up another back. don't think banks or ware will cut it. I also think that the Jets should draft a running back next year who will be the eventual replacement for Jones. I think we'll be fortunate if we get 2 productive years out of TJ.

joewilly Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 anyone else still wish cedric houston was our #3 back? what a shame he opted out of the nfl. I haven't read much about our other running backs & i've been glued to 128's training camp reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUM-KNEE Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Because he's with another team ? When L Johnson agrees to the money, Holmes wont be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeniorFlaJet Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'll worry if they say Jones won't be ready for opening day. If this injury didn't happen we would all be happy with TJ, Leon and the rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
